Gaming Regulatory Body in Michigan to Convene on Tuesday
The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) will convene on Tuesday, July 9, to discuss various business-related matters concerning the administration of iGaming topics for the 15 licensed Michigan casinos online.
Some of the topics on the agenda include recommendations regarding occupational license applications, renewal requests for supplier licenses, and pending new supplier license requests. The meeting will also address any other online gambling questions in the State of Michigan.
Recently, the MGCB has made efforts to stop illegal operators' activities in Michigan. In this regard, Bovada, an offshore operator, has complied with the MGCB's request to cease its activities in Michigan, following a cease-and-desist letter sent by the board on May 28. Bovada emailed its users in Michigan confirming service and account closures last Wednesday.
The MGCB has also conducted investigations into delayed withdrawals at licensed brands to ensure a smooth and secure gaming experience for Michigan players. As of now, Michigan players can gamble at 15 licensed operators, including BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars Palace Online Casino, and BetRivers, which offer no deposit bonus Michigan offers and entertaining casino games.
The MGCB is hiring 14 new employees in 2024 to support its internet gaming and sports betting regulatory operations. Additionally, the board will receive $3 million for its FY2025 budget to fund the "Don't Regret the Bet" responsible gaming campaign. This campaign offers tips and information to Michigan players to help them gamble responsibly and control their gambling impulses.
Larry Henry, a veteran print and broadcast reporter and editor, has been appointed to represent the MGCB at the regular meeting on July 9. Mr. Henry has experience with media outlets in states with gaming, including Tennessee and Louisiana. He has also worked as a political editor at the Las Vegas Sun and managing editor at KFSM-TV.
The public can attend the meeting or observe the proceedings via Zoom or telephone. For more information, interested parties are encouraged to visit the MGCB's website or contact the board directly.
